Pros

The benefits are amazing! And the people doing the work are great! These two things made it incredibly hard for me to leave.

Cons

Management is terrible. They have no sense of what they are doing, action is mistaken for progress. Management has a heightened sense of themselves, and put meetings and email above all else, even the work. They will ask to do something different for the sake of doing something different. Rather than focusing on improving the quality of the content, the goal at CNN seems to focus more on gimmicks and being different instead of the quality of the content. Big money and sponsorships drive the content, quality isn't even thought of.
